On 28 January 2025, the city of Lublin hosted the CT.Uni International Conference: Creative Thinking Explored, the final international event of the project CT.Uni – Creative Thinking: Taking an Innovative and STEAM Approach for a Transdisciplinary University, which brought together universities across Europe to promote transdisciplinary thinking, creativity, and innovative approaches in higher education.

The conference focused on the development of creative thinking in higher education, its connection to real-world practice, and the use of innovative tools – including generative AI, digital storytelling, and scenario-based planning.

The programme featured presentations on topics such as:

• Fostering creativity in classrooms and practical recommendations

• Collaboration between students and external stakeholders

• Transdisciplinary projects in design and architecture

• Creativity in times of crisis – experience from Ukraine

• Using AI in quantitative knowledge analysis

• Developing teamwork and intercultural competences

The event also included case studies from practice (e.g. collaboration with Škoda Auto) and discussions on how universities can systematically support creative thinking and innovation in teaching.

The conference concluded with the sharing of experiences from the implementation of CT.Uni project results and a discussion on their sustainability and further development within the European academic space.
